This is a large and pleasant village, though situated in a flat country; the church is spacious, with a lofty tower. In this place William of Hatfield, second son of Edward III., was born. The exten- sive level of Hatfield Chace contains 180,000 acres, half of which were for- merly covered with water; it was sold by Charles I. to Cornelius Vermuiden, a naturalized Dutchman, to drain and cultivate, which, to the general sur- prise, he at length effected, at an ex- pense of 400,0001., but the project in- volved him in tedious and ruinous law suits. In the centre of the Chace stands a farm-house, called Lindhohn, sur- rounded by an almost impassable mo- rass ; on the site was anciently a her- mitage, inhabited by William of Lind- holme, a personage partaking of the contradictory natures of a hermit and a giant, and concerning whom strange traditionary stories are yet extant in the neighbourhood; his remains were dis- covered in 1747. Edwin, the first Christian king of Northumberland, was slain here, in a great battle, by Penda, the turbulent king of Mercia. In this township is the seat ofWrn. Gossip, Esq. The parish contains the township of Stamforth. Entire population, 2642.
